Chariot to launch VoIP on 30 August

Business IT - Technology

Chariot has given 30 August as the launch date for its long delayed VoIP service.
 Meanwhile there is still no launch date for the service from its erstwhile partner Transcom International.

Chariot says it will commence offering VoIP to its customers on 30 August, initially to those subscribers who have registered interest in receiving the service, adding that:  "The Chariot VoIP service has no association with Transcom or Linqk and does not use any Transcom VoIP product or service."

In November 2004 Chariot announced that it had agreed to pay $5 million to UK based softswitch manufacturer, Transcom International, for an 80 percent shareholding in Transcom Australasia Pty Ltd, the licensee for the Transcom VoIP technology for the region, and for a 37.74 percent stake in Transcom International, which planned to license the system and its associated softswitch technology in more than 60 countries. VoIP services were to be launched in Australia in early 2005 but this never happened and in June, Chariot announced that it was being sued by Transcom for $3.2 million.

Transcom is now planning to rollout a VoIP service in Australia independently under the name Linqk. There is a one page website www.linqk.com.au with a contact email, but no other information has been made available on the service.
